Trail’s End e e e (85 days) Neyron 
rose with pale yellow throat describes this larger ver- 
sion of Betty’s Choice. Although this glad is some- 
what veined, like The Roan, it is of value because of 
its unusual color.

Twinkles —— (2°) (Bu ie 
days) (Harlequin x 
Crinklete) A provocative little pixie of a glad whose 
intense ruffling and gaudy yellow and _ bittersweet 
orange tones make it a gem for sophisticated arrange- 
ments. Highly popular. See our picture on page 28.

Tyrone x * * (466) (Deam, 1952) ( ays) 
e e ¢ This clear lavender self re- 
minds one of Minuet in both color and formality of 
spike. Tyrone looks like a steady performer and a 
fine show glad. It has already won several champion- 
ships.

Lavishly frilled WHITE LACE glads, ruby-red Dolgo 
crabs, and double shasta daisies create a stimulating line 
pattern in a pleasing radiating movement.

Vanguar e e¢ days) Vanguard is a larger, 
buffier version of Salmon’s Glory and has a more dis- 
tinctive spear in the throat. Vanguard was a good 
early cutter last summer. Opens well in water.

Velvet Mantle e @ e 1949) (85 days) 
(Dr. Hoeg x Black Opal) Next to Dark David and 
Ruffled Ebony, this is the outstanding maroon in our 
fields. Velvet Mantle varies somewhat in the number 
of florets it will open— 5-9 being typical. An excep- 
tionally tall grower with real buggy-whip spikes. An 
unusually graceful glad with an especially lustrous 
sheen inherited from Dr. Hoeg (which imparted it also 
to Bonfire). Velvet Mantle makes a stunning basket. 
This variety makes high-crowned deep red bulbs—so 
beautiful I have often been tempted to picture them.
